Question idle Speed (rpm) for GZ250

What happensto the engine if we increase or decrease the idle speed (rpm) of a bike. I have GZ250 and how can i know what is the right rpm (idle speed) and how can i adjust myself without taking to a shop. I know about the knob that is below the gas tank which is used to change the speed but where to adjust that and how? If we decrease the (rpm) idle speed and drive at a high speed will it damage the engine? This bike is new for me so I dont know what is the right sound of the engine at high speed.

Thanks
